custom Neptune
« on: February 19, 2017, 05:15:18 »
I got this from a French ebay seller. Clearly modelled on the famous Neptune from the Fi?ures series. I like the improvements: the crown is obviously superior to the official crown, the net cape is a nice touch, and the seahorse sceptre (say that ten times fast) is cool. Also, being white not green skinned makes him a better Greek god I think.

Tahra of the Keen Eyes! I forgot to mention the most interesting thing about this guy - the feet are definitely not painted! Was there another figure with those legs but white feet? Or is this an "official" custom?

Well, that is the only thing I find of note on him  :-[

Those stupid STUPID legs were only on that figure... and they were green  ::)

Edit: I meant the FEET were green. Of course the legs are green..ish  :-[

Or did someone (you?) swap the feet with a pair of pink ones? That would be quite a feet!

De-feeting the original legs would have defeated me, so I cannot claim credit!

Do you find anything off with the feet? I'm thinking if that were the case, it'd show?

I inspected them pretty closely and they look to me like factory made legs and feet. Tiny mold lines are visible, the join between the pink and the green is crisp, the sheen and texture is PM quality, and the feet are shaped exactly like the green feet.

I'd wager serious money that these are PM-produced legs.
